Robert Reich on the Jobs Numbers: "The Context is Fairly Bleak...And The Trend is Not Good"

Reich: "Well Contessa, the context is fairly bleak, I'm pretty upbeat as a general rule, I wish I could find some upbeat message to give you but 67k private sector jobs were created in August, that's down from July when the private sector created 107k private sector jobs, and the trend is not good, we've got more and more and more people, about 24 million Americans who are eager and able and willing to work, who need to work to pay in order to pay their bills and their mortgages but can't find a job"
